I was 19 when it came out, I was still blown away by it. It was one of those meta movies, before Wes Craven's New Nightmare, and even Scream obviously. The whole movie within a movie was handled so well, and Arnold and the kid just had great chemistry. Shame AFAIK the kid only acted a little bit after this though.

I was around 9 at the time but grew up on a steady diet of Arnold movies. Always infuriated me how people didn't like it on release, it was amazing.

Whiskers the Cat was voiced by Danny Devito. Death was Ian McKellen (Gandalf from Lord of the Rings) The screaming police chief was played by Frank McRae. Off the top of my head he was the teacher in the beginning of he original Red Dawn movie, the quiet boxer guy in Batteries Not Included, Rocky 2, 48hrs, and before his movie carreer he played for the Chicago Bears (Da Bears).

I was literally about to write the exact same comment lol

OMG!?! Two years of steady requests, and LAH premieres while I’m at Grandma’s house in a cell phone signal black hole? ARRRRGGGGHHHHH. I can’t wait to watch this on Sunday when I get home.

I saw this in the theater when it came out, i was 13. It's a great movie. It definitely had the misfortune of coming out at the same time as Jurassic Park. It was ahead of its time, and most people didn't understand it. I think people went in thinking it was the usual serious action movie. It was directed by John McTiernan (Die Hard). Great reaction as always.

The cat who you thought was Joe Peschi is Danny Devito. Great choice in movies man! This one bombed at the box office but totally underrated. Plus the soundtrack! Megadeth Angry again.

To answer your question, Benedict uses a custom .357 Dan Wesson Revolver. It features a muzzle brake compensator on the end.

I love this movie so much. It bombed at the theater in 1993 but I don't think audiences got the joke. Loved seeing that Arnorld didn't take himself seriously and wasn't afraid to poke fun at the action movie genre. Great film.

I'd say the reason it bombed was just pure bad timing with Jurassic Park released at the same time.

"You think you are funny, don't you?" "I know I am. I'm the famous comedian Arnold Braunschweiger." "Schwarzenegger!" "Gesundheit." Fun Fact: Theatrical movie debut of Angie Everhart. Voice Play Fact: Whiskers, the animated cat, is voiced by Danny DeVito, who starred alongside Arnold Schwarzenegger in the movies Twins (1988) and Junior (1993). Music Enthusiast Fact: Big Gun (1993) by AC/DC was specifically written for this movie after Arnold Schwarzenegger personally approached the group and asked them to write a song for it. Casting Notes Fact: Art Carney's final movie appearance. "I'm outta here" were favorite second cousin Frank's last words. Prophetically, those were in fact the last words Art Carney spoke on-screen, as he retired. Charles Dance said in interviews that, after being told that he had won a part turned down by Alan Rickman because of the salary, he wore a t-shirt on set which read: "I'm cheaper than Alan Rickman!" Cameos Cameos Fact: When Danny Madigan (Austin O'Brien) and Jack Slater (Arnold Schwarzenegger) arrive at LAPD headquarters, Sharon Stone and Robert Patrick appear outside the front door as Catherine Tramell (from Basic Instinct (1992)) and the T-1000 (from Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991)), respectively. Sir Ian McKellen played Death, a character out of Ingmar Bergman's The Seventh Seal (1957). In that movie, Death was played by Bengt Ekerot. Tina Turner is the mayor. Jim Belushi, Chevy Chase, Chris Connelly, Karen Duffy, Leeza Gibbons, M.C. Hammer, Little Richard, Jean-Claude Van Damme, Melvin Van Peebles, Damon Wayans, and Maria Shriver are just the few people that I could identify that appear as themselves.

I love that Charles Dance plays wonderful villains but also doesn't take himself too seriously (see Ali G Indahouse😅).

"bitch, I love you..." I lost my shit! 🤣🤣🤣

Arnold has his "I'll be back" catch-phrase. Yours is "Shut the f*** up." Every time you drop it, it's right on point. Love the channel.

an amazing movie that I see way too many people give underhanded praise to. it’s rarely ever “it’s a great action comedy with great writing” and mostly “I knows it’s a dumb satire but I like it” or some variation of that.

Take a shot every time J says STFU ..... I woke up two days later :)

One of the funniest fantasy action comedy movies ever made! They poked fun at this movie in an episode of THE SIMPSONS called The Boy Who Knew Too Much. Bart tells McBain, Rainier Wolfcastle, that his last movie sucked. Chief Wiggum points out, "Yeah, what was the point of it? Magic Ticket, my ass McBain." Lol!!!

Charles Dance is unforgettable as a villain. I watched this when it came out when I was a kid. I loved his lines. I constantly watched this movie.

"I just murdered a man and i want to confess!" "Hey shut up down there!"

I f***in love this movie, it’s so cheesy but fun. I guess cause it’s a movie inside of a movie. Meredith who plays jacks daughter inside the movie is actually the same actress who plays Sonya in the first Mortal Kombat film from the 90’s.

I love this movie. It flopped hard and was not well-received when it first came out. It was poorly marketed, advertised as an action movie rather than a parody of action movies. Once you accept that it is parodying action movies in the same way that The Naked Gun parodies police shows, then it is great fun. I also love its subtle ode to the importance of escapist action movies, the kind of movies I have always loved from the time I was a kid like Danny. Notice how Danny's real life sucks. He has no power whatsoever to change his shitty lot in life. That's why movies are so important to him. Movies are an escape. And through a character like Slater, who does have power over oppositional forces in his world, Danny is able to experience through the movies what he can't experience in real life. Having Slater as a kind of father figure, a father figure that he lacks in real life, gives Danny the confidence to face the world and to be heroic even in his limited circumstances. Movies (and stories more generally) are powerful. Anyone who has a low opinion of the kind of escapist action movies that Arnold stars in should think about the Danny Mattigans of the world who need what these movies provide.

In a sequel, the new villain could carry out Benedict's plan of recruiting famous movie villains (King Kong, Freddy Kruger, Hannibal Lector, etc.) and siccing them on Slater. We have already seen IP mashup movies, like Ready Player One, but a sequel to Last Action Hero could go all out with the meta-movie-madness.

This film just turns us all into kids while watching it. Reality suspended for some great action, humour, fun and crazy one liners "No sequel for you!" 👏

This is by far the best multiverse movie! And that guy with the axe is still one of the freakiest mother scratchers ive ever seen!

This film is worth watching just for the Arnold Hamlet sequence. I'd spend anything to buy a ticket to a full length version of that film hahaha

As weird as it may seem, Death telling Danny that he dies a grandfather would be incredibly liberating. Because he could live the rest of his life without fear, knowing that no matter what happens to him up until the point he becomes a grandfather, he’d live through it.

The concept of a fictional hero/cop being transported into the real world has a lot of comedic potential. It's a shame they only explored that for they last bit of the movie.

"Go back to the thing...the thing, the thing...the thing, thing, thing...You know wht I'm talking about..." HAHAHAH. I adore you! 😂

This was the movie that explained Plot Armor to me as a kid.

CERTAINLY NO OSCARS HERE BUT WHAT A FUN RIDE. ARNOLD VS TYWIN LANNISTER. PERFECTION

Such a fun concept for a movie especially for the period of time it released. Watched it all the time when I was a kid. They could do a sequel or reboot and go all out with the different movies and large cast

Arnold and McTiernan wanted to do a sequel for a while, but eventually Arnold became Governor and after McTiernan had legal trouble and was in prison for like 8 years I think and only recently started directing again (around 2018 or so I think) and now any hope of a sequel is long gone I'm afraid. Unless they "reboot" it with someone else starring and directing.

I never saw this until my hubby. Thought it looked dumb. It is cute and clever and funny and I loooooove the dog scene lol

Knew this would have a high STFU counter lol

I'm so glad you got watch this one tonight, I've been wanting to see you react to it for a while! It was well worth the wait! Hope you had a great Thanksgiving, and I, for one, am very thankful that I found your channel this year. It's helped a lot in what was, for me, a pretty rough year.

I predicted that you would love this and that it would set a new record for the times it made you say shut the f*** up. I counted 30 just in the KZread edit. Not sure if there are more in the full reaction. This was brilliantly done and just came out at the wrong time. Thanks for another fantastically entertaining reaction. Also, your shirt is amazing, and I would love to know where to get one.

27:57 That was Danny Devito my friend; who also did two other famous movies with Arnold that you should react to in the future called "Twins" & "Junior." 😁

Tune in next time, as J watches a movie in what appears to be a bunker.... as packs upon packs upon packs of Red Velvet Oreos are stacked to the ceiling. 😁

Omg, as a 41 yr old man I forgot about this movie. What a throwback classic! Ty guys!

Going into this move completely blind… man, Blank has equal parts pranked you AND blessed you. *chef kiss* Now that’s a cheesy movie!

I frickin' love Last Action Hero. It definitely was before it's time. I don't think it gets the respect it deserves.

Awesome Movie and Work Bro, Thanks 👍😎 Greetings from Helsinki, Finland 🇫🇮🇺🇸🇫🇮🇺🇸

AWESOME MOVIE! I VOTED FOR IT! I've been watching this Movie since I was a kid, I think it is different from other Movies.

He has to kill somebody with his pinky toe, he has to 😂😂. Great reaction J. I'm happy that you are watching more Arnold movies.

I remember when this movie came out, but I've never actually seen it.

@JL So glad you got all the humor and references too, fun watch, thank you, your amazing editor the EOM staff and the patreons too.

Well you didn't disappoint with the Stallone "Shut the f**k up!" 😂 When Death appeared, I was waiting for you to say, "Shut the f**k up! Is that Gandalf from Lord of the Rings?" 😂😂😂😂 You're the best J.

lmfao i love your reactions, i lost my shit when you freaked out about the ticket box near the end, the thing thing, you know the thing, you know what the fuck im talkin bout XD

They had to change the advertising for this movie because of the 1993 bombing of the WTC.They have a giant inflatable balloon of Arnold's character holding a gun in one hand and dynamite in the other.They took out the dynamite and had him holding a badge.

So many great moments... and I'm just talking about J's reactions alone. Loved it!

The guy who plays lieutenant Dekker was also in National Lampoon’s Vacation. He was John Candy’s co-worker at Wally World 😂 He was also Nick Nolte’s boss in 48 hours but I’m not sure if you’ve seen that yet. That’s another great Eddie Murphy movie!

Holy crap, I didn't realize Ian McKellen played Death.

I think what the audience forgets is these action movie characters have at least a bit of superstrength. The Ripper's axe-toss was scary as hell. Maybe Jack electrocuted him because he had the skill advantage for close-quarters combat?

"The thing!! The thing!!!" 😂😂😂😂😂😂

Tell me you caught Gandalf/Magneto as Death (Ian McKellan)! So many cameos in this, it's crazy. I kept catching new ones every time I watched this, especially later in life. 90s legend right here! I remember having the toys too, like Jack Slater's car. Good timesss man; still holds up.

Whiskers' (cartoon cat cop) voice is done by Danny Devito.

Fun fact. The guy playing The Ripper is acted Tom Noonan. Who also plays Frankenstein in The Monster Squad

That "Number One" with the 👍🏻 instead of the typical ☝🏻 has always bothered me too, Jay.. I wonder if that was written into the script like that or if Anthony Quinn (the guy playing Tony Vivadi) improvised that one & they decided to just keep it in the film? It's so weird of a reaction, it has legitimately been in the back of my head ever since the first time I watched this & everytime I watch it again, I think about it yet again, lol.. SO glad I'm not alone on this one.. 😂😂

You know, I've seen that movie years ago and I never ever got the "2 days to retirement" joke, they even effin played the Leathal Weapon theme LOL

There is a novelization of this movie that is fantastic. For the scenes with the yelling police chief, you can read a page and a half of the most absurd gibberish!

34:52 it's not that Burger King was popping. It's that McDonald's was and didn't need to pay for product placement. Same with Pepsi, they always were in the movies because Coke didn't need to be.

I had to rewatch this because Idiocracy said this video has the most STFUs. It's confirmed this has 40 beating Rogue One's 38. 👀

As soon as i seen this pop up i knew what i was watching. Much love to you J and everyone here.

I love how your dog talks to you.

The voice of Whiskers the Cat was Danny DeVito.

31:49... If you watch that scene where he is talking directly into the camera to us you can see the camera crew reflected on the glass. This wasn't an error but a realization that he can now see the crew.

WOOOOOOOOOOOO! YAS! I love this movie, saw it in theaters when it came out... back in my Middle School days. Wonderful film, there's not been another one like it since. 🙂

Austin O'Brien (aka Danny Madigan) - also appeared in The Lawnmower Man (not long before Last Action Hero) and its infamous sequel, Jobe's War / Prehysteria! (same year as LAH) / My Girl 2.

J, this is my favorite reaction yet. And that’s not easy to say.. I was laughing hysterically before the movie even started! You and your co-pilots are awesome! This movie was first to break the fourth wall and started the category of films that are filled with Easter Eggs of a generation. Ready Player One and Free Guy are also in that category that require rewatching after adding more movies to your memory to catch more Easter Eggs. You are a cool guy J, I have no doubt more than one package of cookies are on their way.. Oh and the best part of the Easter Egg movies, reading the cast list in the credits. Luv y’all! ✌️😎👍💕

No Jay. The cat was not Joe Pesci. That was Danny DeVito. You also missed Death as Gandalf the Grey. Then there was Sharon Stone who was Arnold's wife in Total Recall.

I saw this in the theater way back, it’s ironic that one of Hollywood’s most revered action directors made a film that actually parodied the genre , I feel this movie is a masterpiece, it’s too bad it wasn’t well received when it came out, but I think it was way ahead of its time, they can definitely make this film now and the point of it would be understood more than when it was then, and yes Burger King had all types of shit to give away to promote this movie when you ordered a combo meal lol from posters to cups that had a a moving image on them with an insert that you would wrap around the cup and if you spun the insert in a circle it would do a stop motion effect on the image on the cup, pretty kool and one of them had an image to a deleted scene that never made it to the movie.

Looking forward to this one. Jingle All The Way would be great for Christmas time.
